Shawn and Marisol

Thank you for considering us to be the adoptive parents of your beautiful baby. We welcome this opportunity to tell you about who we are, our values and why we would make good parents for your child.

Shawn is my husband and he was raised on the prairies, in Edmonton Alberta. His father was Irish and his mother is Japanese. We both have our extended family nearby and love spending time with all of our nieces and nephews, who come to visit us often. His mom, who lives with us, adores him and we are a close-knit family.

As for me, my name is Marisol and I was born in Peru. As with most Latin families, I was raised in a big family surrounded by my two sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and parents and grand parents. I have wonderful memories of my childhood in Peru, memories of being loved and feeling safe, and always looking toward the future with hope and optimism.

Shawn is a Heavy Duty mechanic and loves to work with his hands. And I work in an administration position for an import company. We live in Vancouver and we love our home, and we feel that this place is now our home now. Even though sometimes we miss the places that we grew up in.

We understand the difficult choices that you face and the pain and struggle that you must be going through. We know a little bit about pain and struggle ourselves, as we have not been able to conceive our own child. This is something that has brought us both great sadness and great strength, as our faith and our love for each other has seen us through these difficult times.

We thank you for taking the time to read our letter and we hope that you choose us to be the adoptive parents of your baby. If you wish to have an open adoption for your child, we fully support this and we always want what is best for the child.

We hope to hear from you soon,

Shawn and Marisol
